'On most topics in HR I''m pretty sure what I believe, and although I do sometimes shift on this slightly, my learning tends to be more about how I argue my position, and case studies, pro and con, etc. However there are a few other topics I find I touch a lot but don''t feel as confident in my perspectives. One of these areas is gamification. I know that some companies do find benefits from these approaches but I know there are a lot of nonsense being promoted too.

Am I just off my game? Why can’t I close a deal? That swaggering confidence can quickly turn into bad news for employee engagement, and nobody needs that!
